i have an ipac2 already and was looking to control the lights and add the lights maybe with an led wiz some how hopefully utilizing an ipac2

I have an Ipac & Led-Wiz ... they are completely independent of each other ... you cannot lose one you need both.
Ipac converts your button key presses into keyboard strokes.
Led-Wiz just sends info to your lights (which aren't in ANYway connected to your button micro-switches).
If you want a program to recognize when a button is switched on, you could probably devise a complicated hardware method for this, but there is already a software platform out there to do this.
I don't remember what it is, but I know that it is not LED-Blinky ... but I think Arzoo (the creator of Led Blink) knows who created it.
Franco B:
If you want to control your lights with software you will want a Pac Drive or LED Wiz.
I would recommend the LED Wiz as the Pac Drive can only turn LEDs on or off, you cannot vary the intensity etc.
If you just want them to flash when pressed you can get a smaller/cheaper PCB. I think Kaytrim made/makes them
You will still use your IPAC to encode the button presses. Anything you use to light the buttons is used in addition to it.

so.... I do need an ipac and an led wiz for controls cuz i just want to control the led buttons when they are pressed??? i heard the led wiz is an keyboard encoder with an led programable in them thats just weird oh well at the end of the month my 100 us of ssd check is hopefully going to that

You heard wrong. The LED-Wiz is NOT a keyboard encoder in anyway.
Clarification: the LED-Wiz+GP is half/half solution. It supports 16 inputs for Keyboard encoder, and 16 Light inputs. The Basic LED-Wiz is 32 light inputs ...
Unless you only need 16 keyboard inputs then you would need both
